Abstract

By utilizing electric field solidifying technology, the Ti-50at%Al binary alloy was treat to a steady electric field in its mush zone and above its liquidus. The effects of electric field on morphologies of γ phase and γ/α2 laminar were analyzed through comparing different current densities. Results show that steady electric field makes the most significant difference in refining solidification microstructures of Ti-50at%Al nearby electrodes. Furthermore, with the increasing current density, the grains of alloy decrease gradually.
